In short: You Keika, the heir of an old famous family of Exorcists, is stricken with poverty after losing his parents and struggles as a street fortune teller and a part time computer tech. One night at a junkyard, he crosses paths with a mysterious and charismatic Exorcist, Tanmoku Ki, who is fighting an evil spirit.

From there, to compound his misfortunes, he gets hit by car and becomes a ghost. Tanmoku Ki appears and asks You Keika to make a “pact” with him to fight Evil Spirits together. Here begins the friendship of our heroes!
